Bandalong Entertainment, Inc. provides instant message services. The firm combines instant messaging with role playing games to build a social community. It provides services such as teens chat, play games and shop online. Bandalong is the developer and distributor of imstar*, a 3D avatar creation, customization, and communications system targeted at the teen market. Using imstar*, users create highly-realistic 3D avatars, customize them with hundreds of fashion, makeup, and clothing choices, and then bring them to life for their peers over a built-in instant messaging platform. Bandalong serves business partners by incorporating their products into the imstar* user experience. As a result, they are able to reach targeted audiences with greater brand impact than could be achieved through typical online marketing techniques. The company was founded by Robert Carter and Daniel Goldman in 2001 and is located in New York.
